Due In May :)

[mathgenius33]

I don't get my next scan until week 18. I wish I could have it sooner because Powell's picture looks so nice, and I'm due right around the same time as a lot of people here. They gave us a DVD video of our 7 week scan, which came out so much better than the pictures we got. We were able to see the arms and legs. I'm 9 weeks 1 day right now. Just 3 more weeks and I'll hopefully be over morning sickness.

Hopefully I won't have any further issues with this pregnancy so that means I probably won't get a chance to see my baby until 20 weeks. I don't think they do 12 week ultrasounds out here.

Oh wow, that's a LONG time to wait!! This scan is from a visit to the ER this morning to check on baby. You'll always get one there! Is that an option for you? Or like (i think) Frosty asked about a private scan?

 

[Powell130]

Thank you for the warm welcome ladies.

Powell - wow your picture really is clear. Its lovely to see isn't it.

Starry Night - that is a long wait. Is there any chance of a private scan with someone else?

Thank you. Yes I love seeing my baby! It helps remind me that I'm pregnant lol I still don't believe it most of the time. This is the 3rd time I've seen our little one and it gets more amazing every time! It's crazy how they grow SO fast!

Welcome to you! We're glad to have you hun

We can purchase DVDs of ours at my OB office for $5. I haven't gotten one yet tho, I suppose I probably will next scan since they're will be movement and all that fun stuff to watch! I wish my phone recorded videos because the nice tech today let me take picture of the screen and stuff while she gave me the "tour" of in there haha

I'm almost classed as high risk because I had a MC the cycle before I got pregnant. The scan today was done in the ER

Aww powell that's a lovely scan pic!

Welcome to all the new ladies !

OT went to see taken 2 with the OH tonight and omg you have to see it! I read that it got bad reviews but honestly think it was just as good as the first ! X

In Canada most people are only offered the 20 week scan. Obviously, if you go to the ER or have a high risk pregnancy you will get more. In my old province we got a 12 week scan IF we went for the NT testing. Also, my OBYN in that province had a scanner in his office he used only for your first visit (at about 10 weeks) to date the pregnancy. Because my pregnancy with DS was unofficially high risk I had a lot of scans. I counted 14 in all.

But in my new province the only standard scan is the 20 week. The rest are for emergency purposes. There is a place to get private scans in the big city but I think they specialize in gender scans. The hospitals here tend not to tell you but it depends on who is giving you the scan (or so I've been told). DH and I agreed that if we can't find out the regular way we will pay to have the private gender scan because we really want to know.

It does seem though that they start using a doppler to check for hb at about 12 weeks. In my old province they wouldn't even try until about 14 to 16 weeks.

If having a normal pregnancy means having to wait until 20 weeks to see the baby then I will take it.

Hello Ladies!
Been holding off saying hello because I was spotting and didn't want to jinx anything until I saw the midwife. I am happy to say I am in the May club!

I am 6 weeks, 4 days with my first. I have told no one! Only my OH obvs, but other than that, it's just you guys

So, as I said I was getting brown spotting pretty much since I got my BFP but only very lightly with no cramps. I went to the EPU to put my mind at ease and was so happy to see a little blob with a fast beating heart. What a relief! The pic looks a bit like an octopus actually!

I'm due 'round 30 May but the scan showed I might be a wee bit earlier.

So far, no morning sickness at all which worried me before scan. Sore boobs and tired, but that's it. Wondering if the sickness will kick in?

Time for bed, but just wanted to say hello and wish you all a happy 9 months. Thinking abut those of you who are going thru uncertain times, and hoping all will be well.

Hey all Just catching up on everything - Powell that little one looks so adorable ^^ I want another scan now! Welcome to the olive club lol

My first thoughts for today? Bile tastes AWFUL!!!!!

 

[Starry Night]

Welcome, Roberta! Congrats on seeing your little baby's heart beat! Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and not get m/s.

Speaking of which, I was feeling really good today but overstuffed on Thanksgiving dinner at lunch and now I have really bad indigestion. So I don't think it's m/s really bothering me but the heart burn is so gross it's making me feel ill and off food. I know with DS I only had really bad nausea for about 1 1/2 weeks. I was "off" food until 12 weeks but I never felt really bad like that time between 6 - 8 weeks. So far it seems this pregnancy is copying that one. I really hope it does. I'm such a wuss when it comes to nausea.

12 week scan? The US tech told me today that the first is the most reliable? I wonder which one is more accurate now! lol

Hey Powell... I'm sorry. My mistake. My OB always goes with the EDD on the 10 week ultrasound for dating purposes. I was confusing that with the 12 week NT scan. I'll be 8w5d at my next scan (on Wednesday... Yay!) then he'll do another one a couple of weeks later and that's the due date he'll use. For now, since my last scan's EDD lined up nicely with the due date from my LMP... I'm sticking with 5/18.

 

[Powell130]

I'll ask my doc which one they go by when I see them. The lady said the first is always the most accurate? idk lol

Hello ladies, feels like I'm constantly gagging and retching today still haven't been sick but its annoying non the less. And crikey! Just had a shower and now I'm totally pooped!

Gonna enjoy my day off and later go for a carvery with OH as didn't spend much time with him at the weekend as I was working, so that'll be nice

Also I think I may just rip out our doorbell....OH put new batteries in yesterday and it keeps ringing by itself!!! Makes me jump out my skin!

Anywho, welcome new ladies and hope everyone isn't feeling too yucky today

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Last night was terrible! Woke up around 3-4 because of the local trouble makers trying to steal cars and set someones alarm off 7 times! (Not that I was counting!) Of course I woke up with terrible nausea and I knew if I moved I was gonna throw up, anyway OH went to take DS to school this morning and turns out they've tried to steal my car and damaged my locks ! Looks like I'm gonna have to fork out for new lock and keys, gutted because that money could have been going to baby stuff or something for DS! Today is gonna be one of those days and I think I shall remain in bed the full day x

 

[Jary]

Omg that's the last thing you need stevensmummy! I don't understand the logic of some people. Wastes of space they are.

Yeah jary I'm gutted I'm gonna have to pay money out that I don't have :/ but at the end of the day I'm having the last laugh, my car is an old one (it does the job of school/uni runs) so it should have been easy to break into, these lowlives have nothing better to do with their lives they don't work, they constantly drink and live off benefits from the government the only thing they are good at in life is stealing cars and they couldn't even do that! Morons. Anyway waiting for the police to come up and have a look back at the cameras and if I can get a hold of who was responsible then hopefully they can pay the damages and save me some money x

 

[Jary]

Hope they catch them!

My OHs brother had a similar problem...they'd try to wrench open the door on his '84 Honda civic but they couldn't so gave up. Tried another car the next day and they still failed! Losers!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

yeah they tried someomes work van aswell but couldnt do that and set the alarm off so many times, the owner ended up coming down and arguing with them, theyre idiots, the stay in my flat and came in after they couldnt get a car so they should be on camera x

 

[Hann12]

Oh dear Stevensmummy! That's not good!

I've been exhausted all day, been asleep on the sofa. DH took another day off work to help so that's been good. Just ate a snickers and feel a bit more energised though will probably feel sick again soon!!
